This one came to Him by night and said to Him, ‘Rabbi, we know You come from Elohim (God) as a teacher because nobody can do these miraculous signs that You do unless the Elohim is with him.’
The F.O.G
Under cover of darkness, he came to Jesus, drawn by an inner hunger for truth. "Rabbi," he began respectfully, "we know You must be a Teacher sent from God. No one could perform the miraculous signs You're doing unless God were with him."
The F.O.G Paraphrase
this one came unto him by night, and said to him, ‘Rabbi, we have known that from God thou hast come—a teacher, for no one these signs is able to do that thou dost, if God may not be with him.’
